TIW-Dissecting Elena: Chapters 21 & 22

Covenant had kept many of his promises, or so he felt, and so there was a strong inclination to keep the vows he could.

TIW-Dissecting Elena: Chapters 21 & 22

That's pretty a pretty interesting find. Maybe Covenant has a bit of wiggle room here since he didn't choose this. I also wonder if he was "riding" so much as lying across the horses back. (Head and arms down one side, legs down the other side.) The next thing that happens is "Covenan...

Scott Brick and Colossus

While nothing jumped out at me on that particular scene, I can say that Brick's Stave Voice and his Tor Voice are quite delightful and are my most favorite aspects of his work. For the Tor, he's clearly channeling Orson Welles. I don't know where Stave comes from, it's both completely unusual and co...

Same.

I have to say, his songs have a propensity for ear-worminess. He seems stuck in my head now.

What Do You Think Today?

Yes. I know no one will do it. But the gall in the asking is rather ... Feudal, shall we say.

Some are more appalled than they otherwise would be due to the inclusion of the "and my heirs and successors" bit, upon consideration of said heirs and successors.

What Do You Think Today?

You think so Wayfriend? A digital wallet is just a safe place to store data. Money isn't data, unless it's crypto. "Real" money is more than just data, although it seems like it is when you can transfer money with an app. Whenever you move money around from a computer, the banks involved ...

I don't think this "digital wallets" thing works the way you think it does. Unless you understand that it's crypto-currency you're talking about, with all the volatility and theft-ability that comes with it. The recent bank problems have been caused by (a) the people running the bank were ...

Thanks. :D My intention has changed though. Since we're manually approving each post, keeping the posts themselves hidden seems an unnecessary level of interference.

Meanwhile @Avatar @Vain , GCES posts are showing up in New Posts even though I am not a member. From there, I can read the whole thread. I think this is counter to your intention.

Estie is greater than Linden

That She reminded me of a weaker version of Elega, if anything. That's a nice take on it. It's not just the royalty aspect, it's that her struggles are the struggles of someone who has no real hardships. To some extent, you're impressed that they are not spoiled or greedy or overprotected. So ... Es...

If you hate Linden, then anyone else would be.

But I disagree. Linden had more to overcome, she had a more important part, she kicked more ass, she solved more problems, and she was well chosen.
